I'm not sure how cheap you can get them down to, but Bomgar is great.
They have a B100 appliance that I believe is reasonably priced. We are
extremely happy with our Bomgar appliance.
It does everything you want and also supports remote support for win 95
through the latest windows, Mac OSX, Most versions of Linux, WinMo 5 and
6 devices (haven't tested this), Blackberries and users even on dialup
(laggy).
One nice feature is it supports connecting to multiple users. I can
connect to three different clients and billing three different clients
at the same time.
Ours automagically records sessions as flash movies if you want. Great
for creating a demo or just simply documenting. I haven't tried it, but
you can also use it like gotomeeting and share your screen with many users.
Good stuff.
